Are You Smarter Than OpenAI’s ChatGPT o1? The Prince and Princess Puzzle
In today's video, we dive into a classic age-related puzzle involving a prince and princess with some tricky clues about their ages. This was a riddle that executives at OpenAI used to announce their new model for ChatGPT: o1 (currently in preview mode).

The initial confusion for the puzzle is understandable, but to try to solve it as a human, I begin with the tried-and-true strategy of students everywhere: "guess and check". Once we have a particular solution that works, however, we can turn to algebra to help us figure out the general case solution.
Interestingly enough, when I fed this back into ChatGPT using the o1-preview model, it got it wrong at first. But after some coaxing, It was back on track. Moral of the story: humans still have a slight edge (for now) in reasoning.

I first came across the announcement at John Gruber's Daring Fireball. I refrained from reading his solution until I came up with my own, but you can see we took pretty similar paths once algebra got involved. https://daringfireball.net/linked/202...
